Very (and I mean VERY) likely a bridge loop, possibly caused hardware failure, incompatible spanning-tree on switches or by by vlan spanning-tree problems. I'm sure you'll be able to find the cause but, if not, let me know if there's something I can do
To your second point: there is actually a special interest group that does just that: iPac http://ipaction.org/.
To quote the site:
"IPac is a nonpartisan group dedicated to preserving individual freedom through balanced information policy.
We believe that technological innovation and individual creativity are vital to the future of this country. We believe that a prosperous and democratic society depends on freedom for all individuals to pursue scientific invention and artistic expression. Unfortunately, new, more draconian copyright and patent laws threaten to stifle these freedoms and restrict public participation in science, art, and political discourse."
Someone probably answered this one already, but better safe than sorry... it is actually quite easy to spoof a mac-address. In other words: mr goatse can easily see which mac address you have been using lately (just keep that airstumbler/ running for a while) and then tell his wifi-card to use that mac address and connect again.
And yes, if you are not running any encryption, he will be able to see whatever you are doing (eh, on the wireless network that is. And if you use a webcam, quite literaly;-)
So true! Actually, the U.S. already showed their view on this as they vetoed (or at least refused to participate) in a global treaty for the conviction of war criminals by the UN court in The Hague. This because it would enable other countries to try US soldiers, something that obviously should not be possible (...).
Still, other countries (Servia, Bosnia, Afghanistan(?)) should meet justice.
When asked, one must suply his/her password, right? So how does this work with doctors, lawyers (e.a.) and non-disclosure agreements with third parties? How will this law relate to other trust-relations which are also integrated within law?
Before a file is decrypted, it is impossible to tell whether it is part of such relation, or if it in fact contains illegal data, so how will this work out?
I was actually there (at HAL) when he expressed his anger about these procedings. When asked whether 'the paper was in his tent at the moment' (talking about anonymous posting;-) he replied being serious about not publishing.
Imho his goal is not getting his paper published, but getting people to think about the consequences of these laws. Unfortunately, this the only way we foreigners can protect our rights abroad.
Linked to this, in Europe a 'law' is being prepared (due Sept 3rd I believe) which forces a country to assist another country to eavesdrop (snif Internet traffic) on a user if he (she) did an illegal act in that OTHER country. To link this with a previous link (thanks for the thought), if China were to be part of such agreement, every couple with 2 or more kids could forget its privacy...

It may have something to do with this webpad (hmm, funny. It's posted on MSnbc...)

Sometimes the ambiguity baffles me
